Coffee Kisses

I never was a coffee drinker,
It wasn't really my thing.
I loved my garden tea, for my sweet sleep.
I enjoyed the sweet aroma in that "majani".
Coffee was never my option.

Then I met you.
Cheater of my sleep.
Introduced me to coffee kisses,
Like the tasty local Elgon coffee
Cappuccino caress, romantic aroma.
Needed a peck, then a cup
Now I can't do without my coffee cup.

My head resting on your bosom.
Trying to control my breathe.
I am taking in your sweet scent.
It doesn't feel the same.
Not like something I have known.
Am relaxed and chilled.
Feeling high on life.
My heart beats to your heartbeat.

In the comfort of your glare.
I can't help but feel at home.
Wrapped in the warmth 
Of your sweet embrace.
It is impossible to feel alone.
When it's just us alone

The rapture of your coffee kisses,
Beats my heart with bliss,
Now when I see and think of getting naughty,
Coffee kisses are all that I miss.

Coffee kisses! Dear Phred, I adore your expressive imagery of falling in love with the cheater of your sleep (an ingenious phase btw). Your poetic artistry is as delicious and captivating as a "Cappuccino caress". Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

Thanks for reading dear Darlene. For me in Uganda, I actually pick the coffee from the garden, get the beans, dry them and then fry and grind to make the coffee. I love the process as much as I love the coffee itself. Thanks again

As I was drinking my coffee,I glanced and say your title and what sweet taste it brought! Coffee kisses are the best, just before you retire, just before you rest. Like the details and the aroma as a lover of the potion.
